20110237468 | METHODS FOR BLOCKING UNDERGROUND FORMATIONS - A process is proposed for blocking underground formations in the extraction of fossil oil and/or gas, a first step involving introducing water-absorbing particles into liquid-bearing and porous rock formations, said particles being water-swellable, crosslinked and water-insoluble polymers, said particles in the water-bearing rock formation finally preventing liquid flow through the rock layers by water absorption. This process is characterized in that the absorbing particles comprise a superabsorbent polymer with anionic and/or cationic properties and a retarded swelling action.
